Strive Quotes - Page 19

• Desde el lugar junto a la barandilla, al borde de las vías, en la tarde de verano, regreso a través de la ciudad a mi propia habitación. Tengo muy presente mi propia vida, que escapó del invierno en el barco. Cuántas vidas así he vivido. Entonces sólo ganaba un dólar y medio al día y ahora a veces gano más que eso en pocos minutos. Qué maravilloso es poder escribir palabras. ... De nuevo comienzo el interminable juego de reconstruir mi propia vida, sacándola de la cáscara que muere, esforzándome por insuflarle belleza y sentido. ... Me pregunto por qué mi vida, por qué todas las vidas, no son más bellas.

  Sherwood Anderson

• When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.

• Todos deberíamos aspirar a la perfección. Es un deber y una alegría perfeccionar la propia naturaleza... Lo más difícil es el amor. Una persona sin amor, que sólo compite en la carrera de ratas, está lejos de la perfección en mi opinión.

• Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone. Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain.

• Aprendí a través de mi cuerpo y mi alma que era necesario que pecara, que necesitaba la lujuria, que tenía que luchar por la propiedad y experimentar la náusea y las profundidades de la desesperación para aprender a no resistirme a ellas, para aprender a amar al mundo.

• It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.

• He did not know that the new life would not be given him for nothing, that he would have to pay dearly for it, that it would cost him great striving, great suffering. But that is the beginning of a new story -- the story of the gradual renewal of a man, the story of his gradual regeneration, of his passing from one world into another, of his initiation into a new unknown life. That might be the subject of a new story, but our present story is ended.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

• What whites have rarely had to think about—because being the dominant group, we are so used to having our will done, with a little effort at least—is that maybe the point is not victory, however much we all wish to see justice attained and injustice routed. Maybe our redemption comes from the struggle itself. Maybe it is in the effort, the striving for equality and freedom that we become human.

• We are, all of us, crippled and twisted. Most of us strive desperately to keep our grotesqueries out of sight and mind. Our suffering is transformed by an alchemy of the soul into addiction, ulcers, strokes, hatred, even war.

• ''Women of the Gallagher Academy, who comes here?" she asked. Just then, every girl at every table (even the newbies) stood and said in unison, "We are the sisters of Gillian." "Why do you come?" my mother asked. "To learn her skills. Honor her sword. And keep her secrets." "To what end do you work?" "To the cause of justice and light." "How long will you strive?" "For all the days of our lives," we finished and I felt a little like a character in one of my grandma's soap operas.

• The problem, then, is how to bring about a striving for harmony with land among a people many of whom have forgotten there is any such thing as land, among whom education and culture have become almost synonymous with landlessness. This is the problem of conservation education.

• Los hombres desean apasionadamente vivir después de la muerte, pero a menudo fallecen sin darse cuenta de que el recuerdo de una persona realmente buena siempre vive. Queda impreso en la siguiente generación, y se transmite de nuevo a los hijos. ¿No es ésa una inmortalidad por la que merece la pena luchar?

• No dudes, oh poeta, sino persiste. Di: "Está en mí y saldrá". Quédate ahí, balbuceante y mudo, tartamudeando y balbuceando, silbado y abucheado, quédate y esfuérzate, hasta que al fin la rabia saque de ti ese poder onírico que cada noche te muestra que es tuyo; un poder que trasciende todo límite y privacidad, y en virtud del cual un hombre es el conductor de todo el río de la electricidad.

• We're nothing if we're not loved. When you meet somebody who is more important to you than yourself, that has to be the most important thing in life, really. And I think we are all striving for it in different ways. I also believe very, very strongly that everybody is the hero/heroine of his/her own life. I try to make my characters kind of ordinary, somebody that anybody could be. Because we've all had loves, perhaps love and loss, people can relate to my characters

• Existe en la naturaleza una unidad paralela que corresponde a la unidad en la mente y la hace disponible. Esta mente metodizadora no encuentra resistencia en sus intentos. Los bloques dispersos, con los que se esfuerza por formar una estructura simétrica, encajan. Este diseño que sigue encuentra con alegría que un diseño similar fue antes. No sólo el hombre pone las cosas en fila, sino que las cosas deben estar en fila.

• A philosopher knows that in reality he knows very little. That is why he constantly strives to achieve true insight. Socrates was one of these rare people. He knew that he knew nothing about life and about the world. And now comes the important part: it troubled him that he knew so little.
